I thought one of the DETOUR options and the ROADBLOCK were totally lame. The Magellan map/signs detour was excellent, as it required minimum map reading and copying skills to complete. However, two teams obviously did not possess requisite amounts of those skills. The other detour in Puntsa Arenas, pointing a compass to travel several blocks south on foot until they found a specific business was way too easy and all 3 teams that were the first to try it were rewarded with the 3 hour advantage of the first charter flight. The luck roadblock of finding one of 2 out of 1600 pieces of mail was a great way to change the oprdering of the race and allow less deserving teams to survive and a more deserving team(based on prior episode performance) to lose. I would have had les of a problem if it was in a different part of the episode, but right at the end it was decisive in determining the final outcome.

I know some people in here love Romber but I was so happy to see them go. Rob has never won anything as far as I know, and yet he thinks he is so damn arrogant. "Ambah" is no better if she is with Rob.Mirna is a mess but she does make for good television. Love Oswald and Danny.

I totally agree...I knew that Romber was going to be eliminated, but, I still never gave up home for a miracle... I am hoping they pop up on another show, also. I think that people either really like Romber, or really don't...I don't think there is any middle ground there. I, for one...really like them!

i want to read lance and marshal letter to mirna and shmirna and also susan and patricks letter to romber, the bits i capped where funny as anything. blake and paige letter to ozwald and danny was nice and frank was funny

although I'm not fan of R/A(frankly,I can't wait for their elimination~~~ )but now ... I just feel it is really a pity~they are very strong team!so far,All-Star just do not look like an all-star~2 strong teams got eliminated early~John/Jill and Rob/Amber~~Now I'm quite sure about the spoilers(saying that E/D WIN)

In my opinion, Romber truly understand how to play the game. Don't worry about the other teams, just focus on yourself. Having one team in sight - if you beat them to the mat you will not be eliminated. They knew the rules, at least in TAR7 when they did the 4lb of meat challenge.

I was surprised that Romber lost because of their own actions. Choosing the wrong Detour and being over-confident that his spelling was correct. The mail sorting was luck, but if they had done the Detour correctly they would not have been in the that position.

I wish Amber had told Schmirna that she lied to them to give their team extra time. Why would any team be surprised by the truth? It is a game and a few seconds can make a HUGE difference.

Schmirna are so petty. They make the race more interesting because I can route against them ... and the things that come out of their mouths is often hilarious.

i loved the part at the airport when they were banging on the window of the cab that romber had gotten into....did they really expect for romber to exit the cab?? i would have been like MOVE IT and ran em over (ok I'm not that mean but u get the point) I WOULD LOVE TO go on amazing and I'd play the game the same way as romber because ur not going to get anywhere by being "nice" ... u have to fight for urself not anyone else...look at kentuky ... they were too nice to everyone and got shafted in the end!

KOGS and MSWOOD, go look again at the CBS video clips. One of them has the complete marshall/lance letter and unsurprising bitter reaction to it from mirna/schmirna. Another has the patrick/susan letter to rob/amber. One has the Patrick/Susan letter(much nicer) to Uchenna/Joyce). One has the Lyn letter to Dustin/Kandice. One has the Blake/Paige letter to Danny/Oswald. One was a limerick from Frank to Joe/Bill. One has a letter from Jeremy and Dani to Eric and Danielle being read by an incompetent(at smooth reading before a camera) Eric. Ian/Teri got one from Flo/Zach. These are spread over multiple clips.

maybe there'll be more fun after Rob's elimination.Now that we no longer need to watch Rob and Amber going the first all the time~so nice~the competition will be more fierce :kissy:Eric/Danielle,Oswell/Danny,Uchenna/Joyce or BQs,I think these teams are all likely to be the first in next leg~just see a new and fierce competition without Rob and Amber!
